There is no control group in this study! Do you have access to the entire study and not just the abstract? Also, there is no agreement among practitioners as to what are appropriate sites.

Hi @debkl - When asking about the study, I assume that you are referring to the one about acupuncture earlier up in the thread. If so, then when you go to the pubmed link and you can find a link to more info:

I agree that the studies for most non-pharmaceutical studies are not always very scientific. IMHO most good scientific studies are run by large pharmaceutical companies with the goal of finding a solution that will be profitable for the company and where the benefits to the patient outweigh the risks to the patient. These studies can be very expensive which must be recouped by the price of the drug.
Please post if you find something interesting.
Have a great day!
